Edneyville CDP, NC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Edneyville CDP is a small town in North Carolina, with 2,698 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #277 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 33.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Edneyville CDP earn a median of $59,349 a year, 24.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% below the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 23.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Edneyville CDP is valued at $283,900, 6.4% below the national figure and 29% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $854 a month, 39.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,248 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 49.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
